The Seal of Biliteracy is an award that recognizes students who have attained a certain level of proficiency in both English and at least one additional world language by graduation.

In order to earn the South Carolina Seal of Biliteracy, students must meet the proficiency requirements specified for English and must also take a proficiency exam for one other language, achieving a minimum proficiency level of Intermediate Mid (as defined by the ACTFL Proficiency Guidelines) in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Students can earn a Bronze Award (Intermediate Mid), Silver Award (Intermediate High) or Gold Award (Advanced Low).

Congratulations to this year's recipients! Please see names and photos below.

Class of 2024 Palmetto Fellows:

The Palmetto Fellows Scholarship Late Awarding Period for seniors has begun and continues until June 30, 2024. Students participating in the June SAT or ACT test should notify Ms. Porter ASAP. Ms. Porter will submit application packets for students testing in June and ALL PAPERWORK must be completed before leaving graduation practice. It is the student’s responsibility to send their test scores directly to the S.C. Commission on Higher Education (CHE). CHE’s SAT registration code is 4313 and the ACT registration code is 6326. The CHE will process pending applications and determine finally eligibility once test scores are received.

Ordering your final transcript:

All graduates are encouraged to order their FINAL TRANSCRIPT after the 23-24 school year grades have been finalized. All transcripts MUST be ordered through Parchment. Transcripts will not be shared through any other process.

SENIORS…your transcripts must be ordered by June 17, 2024, to ensure your transcript is sent to your selected college/university before Ms. Porter leaves for summer break.

JUNIORS…you need to order a copy of your transcript in order to begin the college application process in August. Colleges will ask you for the information on your transcript when you apply, and some may ask you to upload a copy, so please make sure this is part of your “to do” list.

Click here for directions for ordering your transcript through Parchment. Follow these directions to make sure your transcript is requested correctly.

If a student has work left to complete for any class, they may keep their laptop until they have completed all work or TODAY, Thursday, May 30*. Students must turn in a laptop and charger. If a student has lost their charger, it will be a $35 charge. If a 9th grade student has removed the protective cover on a 23-24 model laptop, the replacement covers are $36. Please pay in the front office in cash with exact change.

Students may also be charged for a lost textbook or library book.
